Today a door opened up for me

I'm not terribly in the mood to pop out a blog but something compels my tired eyes. Perhaps a rearrangement of thoughts.
I get to be in the presence of my guru. My favorite bodhisattva. Love and serve all, baby. Love and serve all.
When Amma tours a city the public program is usually takes place in a hotel. Friday there was not a room in the hotel available. The woman was going to put me up at another hotel, and it would not be fun to ever have to stray far from the gathering. I told her I'd call back. I prayed to Amma all weekend, asking her for a spot closer.
Today I called to book a room for reals and a cancellation had occured.

OVUM has resurrected out of the ashes and her wings are wide and proud. Our first rehearsal back together was a beautiful and magical. We have a fundraiser to coordinate at the end of the month. July 28th. :):):):):):)
The name of our first show:
Backwards and in Heels

Waka waka waka

I spent four days camping at Wakarusa music festival and listening to good music and I now know I want to create mad mad sweet music. The band is in development but I'm really excited about the whole concept of playing at a festival. Looking forward to getting onstage there next year. It's a goal, a thing to help me focus.
I like things that give me focus. I feel my talents can sometimes be one big creative blur and nothing really sticks out as being the thing, the magical be-all gift I can share with the world so I continue to explore them all and see what happens. I know I'm at the least very entertaining. Tomorrow night I get to perform at a variety show so I will get to talk and sing and hopefully I am not mistaken on my previous comment that I entertain. If all else fails, I got some dead baby jokes that are SURE to win over the crowd.
I decided to pull my improv troupe SuperOVUM out of hiding and start us playing out again. I feel really good about it. In fact, since I made the decision to start at it again I've felt better than I have in months. MONTHS. True, I had lost the will to lead for a while. My grandma died and I couldn't seem to motivate anyone. I didn't have motivation. Having been away from it and try to work on other projects I discovered that I like my vision and so do others. To be truthful, I was really encouraged by others to take up the directing reins again. I hemmed and hawed about it. Some beautiful souls kept reinerating to me how much they loved and grew under my direction. It finally sank in.
I'm also going to take a film class in the fall with another OVUM and so we can start creating on another powerful medium. I'm rubbing my hands together with glee.
